If you are emailing the Sew Retro Hotmail address could I please ask that you only send one email about your issue or request. Sometimes it can take a bit of time for me to get to replying but I will do eventually (there has been a lag this week as my older son had an ear infection, I'm a single parent and my sons come first). It takes me a lot longer to do the admin for the site if I am having to double check or even triple check whether I've dealt with an issue.
I have now re-invited everyone that Blogger deleted during its blackout. I'm afraid that it seems the introduction posts from that period were lost too so they will need to be re-done when you do gain access to the site. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks and happy sewing!
Anna
